  WRMA_CAT119 Payment type &1: Column sorting group not maintained
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when processing payment types in the context of payment media or payment runs, specifically in the Payment Medium Workbench (PMW) or related payment configuration.

  Where does this happen?
  
  During payment medium generation (transaction F110, FBZP, or PMW).
  When the system tries to format the payment data for a specific payment type.
  In customizing under payment medium or payment method configuration.
